Posted on November 20, 2011

I joined CrossFit Charlottesville in May 2010 and have loved it ever since. Almost religiously, I attended classes 3-5 times a week for the last year and a half. And while I've made some fantastic gains in strength and power (read about it

I assisted a fellow photographer at a wedding a couple of weekends ago and already feel like I'm more comfortable photographing people. (People are scary) I just have to practice, practice, practice.

Posted on August 29, 2011

I spent a lot of walking around town today! I've been making an effort to use my car less and less and since I haven't been having the best of luck trying to find a small-framed bike, I'm using my legs instead. After spending my morning at a local coffee shop, I went on...

August 28, Day 240

Posted on August 28, 2011

Post-hurricane weather in Charlottesville produced the most beautiful day this summer (in my humble opinion). Sunny and bright with slight breezes to cool you down. We spent the day around town appreciating the little things that we don't get to do year round (like Sunday brunch!). Inspired by brunc...
